Type-E to USB-C front-panel adapter
This 50 cm cable converts a motherboard USB 3.1 Type-E header into a standard USB-C port on the case front. A mounting panel secures the connector in an expansion slot for a tidy installation. It supports USB 3.1 data speeds for flash drives, card readers and external SSDs. The length suits ATX, MATX and ITX chassis routing.
Builders adding front USB-C to Type-E boards
Ideal for DIY assemblers whose motherboard has a Type-E header but whose case lacks a front USB-C port. Not suitable for systems that only offer USB 3.0 20-pin or 9-pin headers. Buyers needing more than one additional USB-C port should look elsewhere.
Requires USB 3.1 Type-E header
The single deciding specification is the presence of a USB 3.1 Type-E header on the motherboard. Without it the adapter cannot be connected. Confirm this header exists before purchase.

Questions about this item
My motherboard only has a USB 3.0 20-pin header — can I still use this cable?
No, the N33R requires a USB 3.1 Type-E header and is not compatible with USB 3.0 20-pin or 9-pin headers.
I plan to route the cable behind the motherboard tray in a full-tower ATX case — is 50 cm enough?
The 50 cm length is optimised for internal chassis routing and suits ATX, MATX and ITX builds.
After installing the mount panel in an expansion slot, how can I verify the front-port is running at USB 3.1 speed?
Connect a USB 3.1 flash drive and confirm the OS reports a 3.1 link; the cable supports USB 3.1 high-speed data transmission.
